Hello all,
I did make my 2 week mini-goal, however, I changed it. I know that sounds weird. Let me 'splain.
After a lot of reading and research, I realized I was not lifting enough weight during my strength training days (2 days a week). This is a common mistake that women make. Also, I realized that I do not have to increase my cardio the way I was thinking.
SOOOO, I am sticking with the regimen of walking/jogging/running
(depending on snow, and my energy level) 3.5 miles, 5 days per week. AND, I started using this ancient Bowflex my husband bought many moons ago. I feel safe using more weight on the Bowflex, as it is harder to seriously hurt myself. Therefore, I'm able to do fewer reps at a higher weight which is an effective way to strength train.
Nice to check in with everyone, and hope your 2009 is off to a great start!
